Skills

Open-source skill collections that extend Claude Code and other AI coding agents with specialized workflows.

🛠️ Skills

Section titled “🛠️ Skills”

  • Superpowers — kompletní agentic workflow framework od Jesseho Vincenta (Prime Radiant); kompozitní “skills” řídí celý vývojový cyklus: brainstorming → plán → implementace přes subagenty → TDD → code review → merge/PR. Agent automaticky detekuje relevantní skill a dodržuje ho jako povinný workflow. Funguje s Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, OpenCode, Gemini CLI a GitHub Copilot CLI.

    Install in Claude Code:

    Terminal window
    /plugin install superpowers@claude-plugins-official

    Klíčové skills: brainstorming, writing-plans, subagent-driven-development, test-driven-development, systematic-debugging, using-git-worktrees, requesting-code-review, writing-skills

  • agent-skills — 19 production-grade engineering workflow skills for AI coding agents covering the full dev lifecycle (define → plan → build → verify → review → ship); works with Claude Code, Cursor, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, and GitHub Copilot

    Install in Claude Code:

    Terminal window
    /plugin marketplace add addyosmani/agent-skills
    /plugin install agent-skills@addy-agent-skills

    Key skills: spec-driven-development, test-driven-development, security-and-hardening, performance-optimization, code-review-and-quality, shipping-and-launch

  • mattpocock/skills — pragmatic engineering skills by Matt Pocock (Total TypeScript / AI Hero); addresses four common agent failure modes — misalignment (/grill-me, /grill-with-docs for upfront requirements interrogation), verbosity (shared-language CONTEXT.md + ADRs built from grilling), broken feedback loops (/tdd red-green-refactor, /diagnose debugging), and architectural drift; small composable skills, model-agnostic; includes a /setup-matt-pocock-skills wizard that asks for issue-tracker preference (GitHub/Linear/local), triage labels, and doc location

    Install:

    Terminal window
    npx skills@latest add mattpocock/skills

  • caveman — “why use many token when few do trick” — skill/plugin that makes the agent talk like a caveman, cutting ~75% of output tokens while keeping full technical accuracy; includes intensity levels (Lite / Full / Ultra), 文言文 classical Chinese mode, terse commit messages (caveman-commit), one-line code reviews (caveman-review), and a caveman-compress tool that rewrites memory files (e.g. CLAUDE.md) into compressed prose saving ~45% of input tokens

    Install in Claude Code:

    Terminal window
    claude plugin marketplace add JuliusBrussee/caveman
    claude plugin install caveman@caveman

    Any agent (Cursor, Copilot, Windsurf, Cline, Codex):

    Terminal window
    npx skills add JuliusBrussee/caveman

  • claude-improve — self-improving retrospective skill; after each conversation Claude reflects on what went wrong and updates its own CLAUDE.md rules to do better next time

🗂️ Skill managers

Section titled “🗂️ Skill managers”
  • Chops — macOS desktop app to browse, edit, and organize agent skills across Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, Windsurf, and Amp from a single interface; open source (FSL-1.1-MIT)

📋 CLAUDE.md templates

Section titled “📋 CLAUDE.md templates”

Reusable CLAUDE.md behavioral guidelines that can be merged into any project’s configuration.

  • andrej-karpathy-skills — single CLAUDE.md derived from Andrej Karpathy’s observations on common LLM coding pitfalls; enforces four principles: think before coding (surface assumptions and tradeoffs), simplicity first (no speculative abstractions), surgical changes (touch only what’s needed), and goal-driven execution (define verifiable success criteria before implementing)
